One of the swords had rusted. The talismans and carvings had vanished, emptied of spiritual power as well. The materials seemed expired, no longer shining as they did, as if they had turned into normal metal.
The other one was the blood-red sword. It looked better than the other, but its spiritual power and energy were slowly flowing into the Chaos tree. The energy within the two swords had been absorbed by the Chaos tree.
On the other hand, the leaves of the Chaos tree were glistening, looking greener than ever, as if each of them had a life of its own.
Alex shrugged helplessly. “I don’t have it.”
Yuno huffed. “Don’t be so stingy. Do you think I’ll steal it from you?”
“It’s really gone,” Alex insisted.
“Tsk, I don’t want it anyway. You’re treating it like it’s some national treasure or something.”
Speechless, all Alex could do was let out a bitter smile. He turned to Jade. “Master, have you heard of the Kamikaze clan of America?”
“I’ve never heard of them.”
“Then where did those people come from? Oh right, I just remembered. I have a soul that claims to be from Yorkshire Palace. Have you heard of that then?”
Jade shook her head, but Yuno put up a weird expression.
“I know a little about Yorkshire Palace.”
The few looked at her.
Yuno replied, “That‘s a cultivation clan from ancient times. Back then, it was considered one of the five ancient godly cultivation sects. They trained many experts, but no one knows if they still exist now.”
She paused, then looked towards Nature’s Palace. “But what’s most important now is this palace. The opportunity is right in front of us. So, are we just going to sit here and watch it disappear, or are we going to take a step?”
The power that they had just absorbed changed immediately into a violent, destructive power. It clashed against their insides, causing them to feel hot and cold at the same time, putting their ability to endure to the test.
More Nature’s power brushed against their skin, like sharp weapons trying to cut them open.
Thud!
Yuno was the first to fly out of the palace, landing on the ground harshly.
Seconds later, Jade flew out as well, crashing to the ground like Yuno.
Alex trembled all over.
Although his body was strong as if made out of diamond, he almost couldn’t handle such power as well. Suddenly, the Chaos tree within his mind palace shook and activated its power, absorbing all of Nature’s power brushing against his body, relieving the pressure he felt.
